Gaunce has yet to appear in a NHL game this season. Ryan Murray (upper body), Brandon Dubinsky (fractured orbital bone), Zach Werenski (undisclosed), and Alexander Wennberg (undisclosed) will also miss the game due to their respective injuries.

The Columbus Blue Jackets have recalled Cameron Gaunce from the minors.

Gaunce inked a two-year/two-way contract on July 1 and has spent all season in the minors. The defenseman had five assists in 20 games with Cleveland along with 27 penalty minutes. He will start off as a seventh defenseman for the Blue Jackets and have no value.

Cameron Gaunce will be scratched for Wednesday's road game against the Flyers.

Gaunce has dressed only once in the previous four games for the Penguins, his last game lasting 3:20. It's safe to say, unless there's an injury, his most ice time will come in practice. Joining him in the press box will be Josh Archibald.

Cameron Gaunce will be a healthy scratch in Monday's game against Calgary.

Gaunce has two assists in seven games this season. He's been a healthy scratch in three of his team's last four contests. Matt Cullen, Bryan Rust, Olli Maatta, Trevor Daley, Kris Letang, Patric Hornqvist and Carl Hagelin are all out with injuries.

Brandon Dubinsky scored a goal but the Columbus Blue Jackets fell to the Washington Capitals 3-2 on Tuesday night.

Dubinsky's goal tied the game at 2 midway through the third period until Nicklas Backstrom scored with just 42.9 seconds left to give the Capitals the late victory. It was Dubinsky's first goal since December 1st, and he now sits at four goals and 13 points in 35 games.

Lukas Sedlack will be a healthy scratch in Saturday's game against the New Jersey Devils.

Sedlak missed time with an ankle injury earlier this season, but it's the first time he'll serve as a healthy scratch. He has four goals and three assists in 41 games this season. Dean Kukan will also watch the game from the press box.

Boone Jenner scored a goal in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the New Jersey Devils.

Jenner buried a rebound after Blue Jackets defenseman Zach Werenski rang a shot off the post. The tally gave Columbus a 1-0 lead at the time. Jenner finished the game with a plus-1 rating, three shots on goal and three hits in 16:03 of ice time. The goal was his first in nine games. The 24-year-old is having a disappointing year, as he has just six goals and 18 points in 53 games this season. Teammate Scott Harrington added the game-winning goal in the second frame.

Jussi Jokinen will be a healthy scratch in Tuesday's game against the New Jersey Devils.

It's the first time that Jokinen will serve as a healthy scratch since becoming a member of the Blue Jackets in mid-January. He has one goal and six assists in 45 games with Edmonton, Los Angeles and Columbus.

Atkinson's goal at the 16:32 mark of the third period tied the game at one and eventually forced overtime. Unfortunately for the Blue Jackets, Sean Couturier netted the game-winning goal for the Flyers in overtime. Atkinson finished the night with a plus-1 rating, five shots on goal and one hit in 18:53 of ice time. He has picked up seven points in 10 games since coming back from a foot injury. He has 10 goals and 10 assists in 42 games this season.

Bjorkstrand had only one assist in his previous 13 games so perhaps this was a confidence builder for the 22-year-old. He has nine goals and 29 points in 55 games and has some fantasy value in deeper leagues.

Josh Anderson scored a goal and picked up an assist in a 7-2 loss to the Boston Bruins.

Alex Wennberg, Jack Johnson and Anderson combined beautifully on a tic-tac-toe to end Tuukka Rask's shutout bid midway through the final period. Anderson is now up to 13 goals and 21 points in 33 games this season. He is four goals away from surpassing his career high set last season.

Jones has been the Blue Jackets top defenseman this season and has eight goals and 36 points in 55 games with a plus-three rating. Last season was a career best with 42 points including 12 goals and while he may not break his goals record, his points record is about to be broken. He is a must-start in most fantasy leagues.

"It's never good to let things fester, hold everything in," Johnson said. "I've been holding a lot of things in for many years here. Yeah, it's out. I own it, and I have nothing to hide. That's the situation. Like I said before, you're just trying to do what's best for your family … I think any husband or father can relate to that." Johnson is eligible to become an unrestricted free agent this summer and he's looking to sign what could be his last big contract. Meanwhile, his role with the Blue Jackets has declined this season, in part due to his inconsistent play, so he feel that an opportunity elsewhere might be best for him. As far as Blue Jackets coach John Tortorella is concerned, he trusts Johnson and understands where the blueliner is coming from. It doesn't seem like Johnson's trade request will make things awkward and as long as he's with the Blue Jackets, he should continue to do his best.

Chorney has a goal and four points in 24 games this season. The Blue Jackets have two injured defensemen in Dean Kukan and Markus Nutivaara while Jack Johnson has requested a trade, so they could use the defensive depth right now.

Bobrovsky gave up just one goal, but there's no doubt that he'd like to have it back, as Devils forward Taylor Hall beat with a wrist shot from a decent distance. Other than the Hall goal, Bobrovsky did a nice job of giving his team a chance to win. He now has a 25-19-5 record with a 2.46 goals-against-average and a .919 save percentage this season.

Columbus outshot Toronto 57-28, but they still didn't come out on top. The Blue Jackets netminder opened the game by allowing the Leafs to score twice in 7:36. His teammates rallied to tie the game at two, but the Jackets still couldn't complete the comeback. Korpisalo now owns a 5-6-0 record with a 3.15 goals-against-average and a .903 save percentage this season. He doesn't have an ounce of fantasy value right now.
